Suddenly Summer

Well it seems that summer has arrived! After a rather grey - but reasonably mild - June, the sun is making up for lost time! The result for us has been the sudden explosion of of both our crops and their weedy companions. We've been keeping busy finishing up the majority of our planting, getting a handle on those inevitable weeds, and tending our chickens, the first of whom made the trip to the abattoir just yesterday.

So if you were waiting anxiously for some organically raised and well pastured chickens, we've got a freezer full!

Speaking of birds, our beans are coming along nice as well! Although it'll be a couple months yet before they're ready for the soup pot.

Most everything else is growing along nicely as well. So much so that we've decided on making our first trip to the Comox Valley Farmers' Market on July 13th! We're very excited for the opportunity to meet everyone in this wonderful community that supports local food producers.

Hopefully we'll see you there - we'll be on the lookout for you!
